«> The Sycamore Bepublican speaking
of the approaching judicial election,
says: '/Kane will present Judge X, G.
"Wilson, of Geneva, as her candidate,
*»and the ticket which ignores that
••large and central county with its
••large amount of litigation will hardly
"be a strong ticket." The same paper
says Hon. Charles Kellum will be a
candidate from that county.
? Mr. I. 0, Bosworth has been re-ap-
pointed by Gov. Cullom and unani-
mously confirmed by the Senate as
trustee of the Hospital for the Insane
in this city. Mr. B. enjoys the unlimit-
ed confidence of all who know him, and
his services in behalf of the Asylum
and the State will be governed by strict
regard for the right in all things. His
term is six years from March 1st, 1879.
There was no opposition to Mr. B's re-
appointment, at least no local opposi-
tion so far as we know.
Aurora had, a spirited, election for
city officers Tuesday last, resulting in
the. election of W. W. Bishop, who re-
ceived 1,150 votes to 796 cast for B. F.
Parks. The following were elected
without opposition: John 11. Pease,
city treasurer; J. J. MeLallen, city
clerk (re-elected); B. B. Gates, marshal
(re-elected); W. T. Murphy, city physi-
cian; Wm.. Lord, Jr., police magistrate,
(re-elected). Con. O'Neill was elected
street commissioner in the west divis-
ion by 64 majority out of a vote of 2,-
022, and Wade elected street commis -
sioner in the east division.
Pensioning Jeff. Davis.
About 1 a. m. of the last day and an
all night session of th6 recent Congress
Gen. Shields, Senator from Missouri,
offered an amendment to a bill under
consideration to pension Mexican sol-
diers. which the Republicans favored,
but moving to except from the list of
beneficiaries Jeff. Davis. This stirred
up the rebel brigadiers, and several
speeches were made by Lamar and oth-
er Southerners and by one or two
Northern Democratic Senators. Lamar
eulogized Davis In passionate terms as
a "patriotic and grand statesman, re-
nowned soldier," etc.; and that sort of
rebel exuberance proceeded for awhile
to the immense pleasure of the confed-
erates and disgust and mortification of
patriotic Senators, when "Old Zack"
Chandler, who has just returned to the
Senate from 'Michigan, unable to en-
dure the humiliating exhibition longer,
rose and "let go" this bombshell into
the rebel camp:
Mb. President: Twenty years ago I, In
company with Jefferson Davis, stood up in this
chamber and wittahimswore by Altnight\ God
that I would support the Constitution of the
United States. Mr. Jefferson Davis oame di-
rect from the Cabinet of. Franklin Pieroe into
the Senate of the United States and took the
oath with me to be faithful to this Govern-
ment. During four years I sat In this body
with Jefferson Davis and saw the preparations
going on from day to day for the overthrow of
this government; With treason In his heart
and perjury upon his lips he took the oath to
sustain the government that he meant to over-
throw. Sir, there was method in this madness.
He in co-operation with other infra from his
' Section, and in the Cabinet of Mr. Buchantfn,
■ made careful preparations for the evect that
; waa to follow; Your fleets were Mattered
wherever the winds blew and water was found
to float them, where tbmr could not be used to
■■ put down a rebellion. Your aimies were scat-
tered«li over this broad land where they oould
hot be used in an emergency. Your treasury
was depleted until your bonds bearing 6 per
oent* interest* principal, and Interest payable
in coin, were sold for 86 cents on the dollar, to
pay current expenses, and no buyers. Prepar-
ations were carefully made/ Tour arms Were
aold under an apparently innocent clause in an
army bill providing that the Secretary of War
i might in his discretion sell such arms as he
deemed best for the interest of the Govern-
;■ ijient. Sir, eighteen years ago last month I sat
> in this hall and listened to Jefferson Davis de-
livering hit' farewell address, Informing us
what our constitutional duties to this. Govern-
ment Were, tind then he left and entered intp a
: rebellion to overtbfrow the government he had
sworn to support. -1 remained here, sir, during
the whole of that terrible rebellion. I saw our
brave soldiers by thousands, and I . might al-
■ most say millions, as they pawed througn here
to the theatre of war. I eaw their shattered
ranks returning. I saw steamboat after
steamboat and railroad train after railroad
train bringing back the wounded; I was with
my friend from Rhode Island (Burnslde) when
he oommanded the army of the Potomac, and
; saw pUes of legs and arms that madebumnnity
- shudder. I saw the widows and orphans made
by this war and h&ird the wail and mourn over
the death of their dearest and beet. Mr. Pres-
ident, I little thought at the time that I should
live to hear in the Senate of the United States
eulogies /upon Jefferson Davis; living, a living
: rebel, on theHoor of the Senate of the United
States. Sir, I am amazed to bear it; and I cau
■ tell the gentlemen on the other side that they
little'know the spirit of the North when they
: come here at this day with bravado pn their
lips, uttering eulogies upon him whom every
man, woman and child in the North believes to*,
have been adoubletityed traitor. -
The sayage but just rebuke took the
starch out of the brigadiers, and no at-
tempt was made to reply. Senator
Chandler's truthful and eloquent pic-
ture will touch a responsivechord in ev-
ery patriotic heart, North and South. *

Supervisors. ,
The Supervisors met at GenevaMon-
day last, but transacted no business
beyond providing for the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Mft Sher-
win. ;« The salary, heretofore $2,500,
was reduced to $2,000 and clerk hire fix
ed at $2,000. Some contended that the
board had not the power to change the
salary from that fixed in the beginning
of the term, while the majority were of
the opinion that as there was a vapan-
cy the board had a right to fix it abew
before choosing the clerk to fill the va-
cancy.
A ballot was taken for a clerk pro',
tem., resulting in fourteen votes for H.
A. Scott, six for C. E. Smiley and one
for Thos. Meredith. Mr. Scott was de-
clared elected. He has been Mr. Sher-
win's deputy for some time. ,
It is the duty of the chairman of the
board, as provided by statute, to call an
election to fill thevacancy* He is com-
pelled to call it between this time and
November. IMs his purpose to call it
to be held simultaneously with the ju-
dicial election in June, if he can be-
come satisfied that such election would
be legal. There is a question if the
statutes regulating judicial elections
do not contemplate that they shall be
held separate and independent of other
elections, and if so, it is doubtful if any
other election can be coupled with
them. If such course will be proper
and legal the election of clerk at the
June judicial election will save much
expense and inconvenience to the vot-
ers. The election of clerk can be de-
ferred until November, when occurs
the election of county treasurer and
coroner.
The board chose Dr. P. H. Blackman
as coroner, vice Bucher, who failed to
qualify. ^
Probafe Court.
Business in the Probate Court was
light this week and few cases were
heard. Among the most important of
those which were disposed of, were the
following: ; 0
A claim in favor of E. F. Cleveland
for the sum of $116.13, against the
estate of Chester M. Bigelow, was al-
lowed.
Alex. Binnie, executor of the estate
of David Binnie, ordered to file receipt
of guardian of Mary A. Binnie for
$2,000, and that thereafter, by filing
receipts for costs, his bond be canceled
and the estate declared settled.
Michael Dougherty was appointed
conservator of the estate of Jennie
Pickering, insane.
Judgment was granted Y. S. Lovell
against John W. and Emma Pearsons,
in the sum of $126.65. ^
Estate of Amasa Lord ; claim for
$489.02 allowed S. L. Taylor. %
Candaca Plain, wife of Albert Plain,
adjudged insane and ordered removed
to the Elgin asylum.
Paul £emler appointed guardian of
Wm. Kemler in the estate of W.Noack,
in bonds of $2,000, with B.Hagelow and
A. Maze! as sureties.
. Washburue for President.
: : Edmund Hudson's Washington Letter to Bos-
ton Herald.
,-,,1 talked this week with a prominent
> - New England Bepublican of, great
shrewdness, who said that Elihu B.
r - Washburne was the coming man. He
is a man, said my friend, who has the
complete confidence of the rank and
file of the party. He has been for ten
years entirely separated from the man-
- agement of the party, and he is the on-
ly man of prominence and power in the
party who does occupy such a position.;
He is absolutely available. But there
•• is a more important poiiUt. When Gen.
V Grant finds ihatthe prize is not going
f f to be his, he will have a» immense in-
- floence to throw'in favor of some man.
Even |his great influence could not do
Mr. Cpnkiing much good, andi after all,
, what is Conkling to Jiim when compar-
• ed with E. Bi washbure, who was his
great patron and friend in Congress be-
fore his great, fame was won in the
War? So I have found one prominent
New Englander who is a thorough-go-
ing believer in Washburne.. Blaine
will try to have the Illinois delegation,
as he did the last time, in the National
Convention, but Washburne will prob-
ably be heard from in Illinois next
year. If there is a large section of the
Republican party that is convinced that
the present Administration is a great
improvement on the last one, and that
its generalcourse ought to be continued
by its successor, Mr. Washburne mays
be taken up. He has elements of polite
ical stxength^no^osse^ed byanjjr ,§ther

Board of Trade.
The meeting of thje Board of Trade
was attended by a large number of per-
sons on Tuesdayi including factory-
men, buyers, butter and cheese makers
looking for situations, and strangers.
The Board failed to receive the cus-
tomary telegram from New York, but
mail reports showedj no change in the
market there, while here it was un-
changed with few sales of butter, but
no cheese. ., |.
The committee appointed some time
since to prepare rules, regulations and
by-laws, submitted their report* which
was read, and as sortie of the rules ap-
peared to be rather lengthy, the report
was referred to the Board of Directors
for revision, to report at next meeting.
The financial year pf the Board com-
menced on Tuesday, and thirty per-
sons made application for membership.
The Board of Directors met during
the afternoon, and?) unanimously re-
elected Dr. TefEt, president. The other
officers will be elected on Tuesday next*

' Tariff for Farmers.
What earthly benefit do our farmers
derive from a protective tariff? Du-
ring the six years ending June 30,1878,
the domestic exports o? this country
amounted to $4,029,117,889, of which
$3,148,453,323 consisted of agricultural
products. That is 80 per cent, pf the
exports. Our manufacturers* for
whose exclusive benefit a protective
tariff has been in operation for sixteen
or seventeen years, figure in the ex-
ports to the extent of 20 percent only.
That is all protection has done for the
country in the way of export trade; In
the way of burdening the people with
heavy taxation and shutting out foreign
trade, it has done a tremondous work,
and it is time that the farmers were in-
quiring why they shall be heavily taxed
for everything they use of American
manufactured articles for the benefit of
a few special interests which contribute
a very small percentage of the foreign
'businessdofthe country ^Louisville Cou-
rier-Journal.
It is really astonishing that th'fe farm-
ers of the United States should submit
so long and peaceably to tariff robber-
ies. Here they have been furnishing
nine-tenths of the whole exports of the
United States, and selling the remain-
der of their produce at prices fixed bv
the price of the exported part, and all
the time they have not received an ad-
ditional penny more than they would
obtain if no such thitig as a Custom
House existed. In the meantime they
have been paying a third or hg^f more
for their implements and household
purchases. We wonder that the agri-
cultural press of the United States does
not take up the matter. It is not of a
political character, and therefore is not
tabooed on that ground. There is no
question which so vitally concerns the
class they represent, ana, therefore, it
is a proper subject for them to agitate,

• Baue of the Democracy.
Philadelphia Bulletin.
The Hon. Samuel Townsend, one of
Deleware7s most prominent citizens and
a fervent Democrat, writes to a Wil-
mington paper to protest against a
grant t>y tne Legislature of $2,000 aye&r
to Newark College upon two grounds:
One is, that college some day or other,
may admit "nigger" students, and the
other is that "forgeries, burglaries, high-
way robberies and other desperate
crimes are perpetrated by edncated
men." It is, perhaps, not necessary to
-discuss such a question upon such a
basis; but we may say that Mr. Towns-
end is not only a living argument in
favor of the necessity for a liberal edu-
cation as a means of1 enabling men to
use their mental faculties aright, but he
is a very fair representative of a party
which has persistently refused to give
to Delaware a free-school system.
Townsend probably has a dim con-
sciousness that when Delaware begins
to educate her people^ the Democratic
party will lose its hold upon them. <..

Dairying1 in Iowa.
■ Last week a representative of Thk
Advocate attended the third annual
convention of the Northern Iowa But-
ter and Cheese Association at Manches-
ter. The convention lasted three days,
and the attendance throughout was re-
markably large, and ?reat interest was
manifested in all matters pertaining to
the dairy. Delegates were present from
inany parts of the state not yet engag-
ed in dairying.
The people of Iowa
on the subject and have come td the
conclusion that it does not longer pay
to raise grain for the market, especially
at such low prices as Shave been obtain-
ed for it the past year, and so with a
view of bettering their condition they
are turning their attention to dairying.
The convention held last week was
perhaps one of the best held in the
Northwest the present season, and will
doubtless be the meaijLS of placing Iowa
well to the front as a dairy state. The
discussions, essays and papers were
practical, and a large number of those
in attendance were there for the pur-
pose pf learning, and consequently a
great many question s were asked and
answered, and those seeking informa-
tion left no means untried to obtain
what they were after! The convention
by a unanimous vote protested against
the custom prevailing to some extent
in some portions of the state of brand-
ing dairy butter as creamery and put-
ting it upon the mkrket. The belief
was prevalent that it would prove bet-
ter for both classes! of goods to be
branded true to name, and we fully
concur in that belief j
From the discussions in the convent-
ion and from inquiries made among the
prominent dairymeigi, we learn that
creamery butter will be the product of
Iowa for the coming season, and that
but little cheese willj be manufactured,
jfcany new oreamerijes will be erected
within the next three months^ and by
mid-summer the stejte will have |from
two to three hundred in operation.
Manchester, where the convention was
held, is to Iowa what Elgin is to Illi-
nois. The people are active, wide
awake, energetic and hospitable, and
are determine^ to push to the front in
this great industry.. Last year over
two million pounds ojf butter wefe ship-
ped from Manchester alone and during
the month of Janxiary of this year
about two hundred] thousand pounds
were shipped. The! Iowa division of
the Illinois Central railroad passes
through the town alnd affords ample
shipping facilities, providing excellent
refrigerator cars whepi desired. In fact
the road seems to take an unusual in-
terest in the business, and the manage-
ment may well congratulate itself upon
the friendly relations and kindly feel-
ings existing between itself! and its
many shippers. A jprominent cream-
ery man said that the road was deserv-
ing of great praise and credit for the
prompt manner in! which shipments
were made and for the uniform excel-
lent condition with which it placed the
dairy pipducts 'in the markets. He
further said that without the road dai-
ry products would ljpve a hard time of
it getting to market.r It is a good sign
when shippers speak; so highly of a cor-
poration, for it shows that it at least is
not soulless as is usually claimed.
The next meeting of the association
will be held at Monticello in February,
1880, This is also an important dairy
section, andhas seviralfine creameries

decline both propositions." .

«> The Sycamore Bepublican speaking
of the approaching judicial election,
says: '/Kane will present Judge X, G.
"Wilson, of Geneva, as her candidate,
*»and the ticket which ignores that
••large and central county with its
••large amount of litigation will hardly
"be a strong ticket." The same paper
says Hon. Charles Kellum will be a
candidate from that county.
? Mr. I. 0, Bosworth has been re-ap-
pointed by Gov. Cullom and unani-
mously confirmed by the Senate as
trustee of the Hospital for the Insane
in this city. Mr. B. enjoys the unlimit-
ed confidence of all who know him, and
his services in behalf of the Asylum
and the State will be governed by strict
regard for the right in all things. His
term is six years from March 1st, 1879.
There was no opposition to Mr. B's re-
appointment, at least no local opposi-
tion so far as we know.
Aurora had, a spirited, election for
city officers Tuesday last, resulting in
the. election of W. W. Bishop, who re-
ceived 1,150 votes to 796 cast for B. F.
Parks. The following were elected
without opposition: John 11. Pease,
city treasurer; J. J. MeLallen, city
clerk (re-elected); B. B. Gates, marshal
(re-elected); W. T. Murphy, city physi-
cian; Wm.. Lord, Jr., police magistrate,
(re-elected). Con. O'Neill was elected
street commissioner in the west divis-
ion by 64 majority out of a vote of 2,-
022, and Wade elected street commis -
sioner in the east division.
Pensioning Jeff. Davis.
About 1 a. m. of the last day and an
all night session of th6 recent Congress
Gen. Shields, Senator from Missouri,
offered an amendment to a bill under
consideration to pension Mexican sol-
diers. which the Republicans favored,
but moving to except from the list of
beneficiaries Jeff. Davis. This stirred
up the rebel brigadiers, and several
speeches were made by Lamar and oth-
er Southerners and by one or two
Northern Democratic Senators. Lamar
eulogized Davis In passionate terms as
a "patriotic and grand statesman, re-
nowned soldier," etc.; and that sort of
rebel exuberance proceeded for awhile
to the immense pleasure of the confed-
erates and disgust and mortification of
patriotic Senators, when "Old Zack"
Chandler, who has just returned to the
Senate from 'Michigan, unable to en-
dure the humiliating exhibition longer,
rose and "let go" this bombshell into
the rebel camp:
Mb. President: Twenty years ago I, In
company with Jefferson Davis, stood up in this
chamber and wittahimswore by Altnight\ God
that I would support the Constitution of the
United States. Mr. Jefferson Davis oame di-
rect from the Cabinet of. Franklin Pieroe into
the Senate of the United States and took the
oath with me to be faithful to this Govern-
ment. During four years I sat In this body
with Jefferson Davis and saw the preparations
going on from day to day for the overthrow of
this government; With treason In his heart
and perjury upon his lips he took the oath to
sustain the government that he meant to over-
throw. Sir, there was method in this madness.
He in co-operation with other infra from his
' Section, and in the Cabinet of Mr. Buchantfn,
■ made careful preparations for the evect that
; waa to follow; Your fleets were Mattered
wherever the winds blew and water was found
to float them, where tbmr could not be used to
■■ put down a rebellion. Your aimies were scat-
tered«li over this broad land where they oould
hot be used in an emergency. Your treasury
was depleted until your bonds bearing 6 per
oent* interest* principal, and Interest payable
in coin, were sold for 86 cents on the dollar, to
pay current expenses, and no buyers. Prepar-
ations were carefully made/ Tour arms Were
aold under an apparently innocent clause in an
army bill providing that the Secretary of War
i might in his discretion sell such arms as he
deemed best for the interest of the Govern-
;■ ijient. Sir, eighteen years ago last month I sat
> in this hall and listened to Jefferson Davis de-
livering hit' farewell address, Informing us
what our constitutional duties to this. Govern-
ment Were, tind then he left and entered intp a
: rebellion to overtbfrow the government he had
sworn to support. -1 remained here, sir, during
the whole of that terrible rebellion. I saw our
brave soldiers by thousands, and I . might al-
■ most say millions, as they pawed througn here
to the theatre of war. I eaw their shattered
ranks returning. I saw steamboat after
steamboat and railroad train after railroad
train bringing back the wounded; I was with
my friend from Rhode Island (Burnslde) when
he oommanded the army of the Potomac, and
; saw pUes of legs and arms that madebumnnity
- shudder. I saw the widows and orphans made
by this war and h&ird the wail and mourn over
the death of their dearest and beet. Mr. Pres-
ident, I little thought at the time that I should
live to hear in the Senate of the United States
eulogies /upon Jefferson Davis; living, a living
: rebel, on theHoor of the Senate of the United
States. Sir, I am amazed to bear it; and I cau
■ tell the gentlemen on the other side that they
little'know the spirit of the North when they
: come here at this day with bravado pn their
lips, uttering eulogies upon him whom every
man, woman and child in the North believes to*,
have been adoubletityed traitor. -
The sayage but just rebuke took the
starch out of the brigadiers, and no at-
tempt was made to reply. Senator
Chandler's truthful and eloquent pic-
ture will touch a responsivechord in ev-
ery patriotic heart, North and South. *

Supervisors. ,
The Supervisors met at GenevaMon-
day last, but transacted no business
beyond providing for the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Mft Sher-
win. ;« The salary, heretofore $2,500,
was reduced to $2,000 and clerk hire fix
ed at $2,000. Some contended that the
board had not the power to change the
salary from that fixed in the beginning
of the term, while the majority were of
the opinion that as there was a vapan-
cy the board had a right to fix it abew
before choosing the clerk to fill the va-
cancy.
A ballot was taken for a clerk pro',
tem., resulting in fourteen votes for H.
A. Scott, six for C. E. Smiley and one
for Thos. Meredith. Mr. Scott was de-
clared elected. He has been Mr. Sher-
win's deputy for some time. ,
It is the duty of the chairman of the
board, as provided by statute, to call an
election to fill thevacancy* He is com-
pelled to call it between this time and
November. IMs his purpose to call it
to be held simultaneously with the ju-
dicial election in June, if he can be-
come satisfied that such election would
be legal. There is a question if the
statutes regulating judicial elections
do not contemplate that they shall be
held separate and independent of other
elections, and if so, it is doubtful if any
other election can be coupled with
them. If such course will be proper
and legal the election of clerk at the
June judicial election will save much
expense and inconvenience to the vot-
ers. The election of clerk can be de-
ferred until November, when occurs
the election of county treasurer and
coroner.
The board chose Dr. P. H. Blackman
as coroner, vice Bucher, who failed to
qualify. ^
Probafe Court.
Business in the Probate Court was
light this week and few cases were
heard. Among the most important of
those which were disposed of, were the
following: ; 0
A claim in favor of E. F. Cleveland
for the sum of $116.13, against the
estate of Chester M. Bigelow, was al-
lowed.
Alex. Binnie, executor of the estate
of David Binnie, ordered to file receipt
of guardian of Mary A. Binnie for
$2,000, and that thereafter, by filing
receipts for costs, his bond be canceled
and the estate declared settled.
Michael Dougherty was appointed
conservator of the estate of Jennie
Pickering, insane.
Judgment was granted Y. S. Lovell
against John W. and Emma Pearsons,
in the sum of $126.65. ^
Estate of Amasa Lord ; claim for
$489.02 allowed S. L. Taylor. %
Candaca Plain, wife of Albert Plain,
adjudged insane and ordered removed
to the Elgin asylum.
Paul £emler appointed guardian of
Wm. Kemler in the estate of W.Noack,
in bonds of $2,000, with B.Hagelow and
A. Maze! as sureties.
. Washburue for President.
: : Edmund Hudson's Washington Letter to Bos-
ton Herald.
,-,,1 talked this week with a prominent
> - New England Bepublican of, great
shrewdness, who said that Elihu B.
r - Washburne was the coming man. He
is a man, said my friend, who has the
complete confidence of the rank and
file of the party. He has been for ten
years entirely separated from the man-
- agement of the party, and he is the on-
ly man of prominence and power in the
party who does occupy such a position.;
He is absolutely available. But there
•• is a more important poiiUt. When Gen.
V Grant finds ihatthe prize is not going
f f to be his, he will have a» immense in-
- floence to throw'in favor of some man.
Even |his great influence could not do
Mr. Cpnkiing much good, andi after all,
, what is Conkling to Jiim when compar-
• ed with E. Bi washbure, who was his
great patron and friend in Congress be-
fore his great, fame was won in the
War? So I have found one prominent
New Englander who is a thorough-go-
ing believer in Washburne.. Blaine
will try to have the Illinois delegation,
as he did the last time, in the National
Convention, but Washburne will prob-
ably be heard from in Illinois next
year. If there is a large section of the
Republican party that is convinced that
the present Administration is a great
improvement on the last one, and that
its generalcourse ought to be continued
by its successor, Mr. Washburne mays
be taken up. He has elements of polite
ical stxength^no^osse^ed byanjjr ,§ther

Board of Trade.
The meeting of thje Board of Trade
was attended by a large number of per-
sons on Tuesdayi including factory-
men, buyers, butter and cheese makers
looking for situations, and strangers.
The Board failed to receive the cus-
tomary telegram from New York, but
mail reports showedj no change in the
market there, while here it was un-
changed with few sales of butter, but
no cheese. ., |.
The committee appointed some time
since to prepare rules, regulations and
by-laws, submitted their report* which
was read, and as sortie of the rules ap-
peared to be rather lengthy, the report
was referred to the Board of Directors
for revision, to report at next meeting.
The financial year pf the Board com-
menced on Tuesday, and thirty per-
sons made application for membership.
The Board of Directors met during
the afternoon, and?) unanimously re-
elected Dr. TefEt, president. The other
officers will be elected on Tuesday next*

year has been fixed at $2. -l

' Tariff for Farmers.
What earthly benefit do our farmers
derive from a protective tariff? Du-
ring the six years ending June 30,1878,
the domestic exports o? this country
amounted to $4,029,117,889, of which
$3,148,453,323 consisted of agricultural
products. That is 80 per cent, pf the
exports. Our manufacturers* for
whose exclusive benefit a protective
tariff has been in operation for sixteen
or seventeen years, figure in the ex-
ports to the extent of 20 percent only.
That is all protection has done for the
country in the way of export trade; In
the way of burdening the people with
heavy taxation and shutting out foreign
trade, it has done a tremondous work,
and it is time that the farmers were in-
quiring why they shall be heavily taxed
for everything they use of American
manufactured articles for the benefit of
a few special interests which contribute
a very small percentage of the foreign
'businessdofthe country ^Louisville Cou-
rier-Journal.
It is really astonishing that th'fe farm-
ers of the United States should submit
so long and peaceably to tariff robber-
ies. Here they have been furnishing
nine-tenths of the whole exports of the
United States, and selling the remain-
der of their produce at prices fixed bv
the price of the exported part, and all
the time they have not received an ad-
ditional penny more than they would
obtain if no such thitig as a Custom
House existed. In the meantime they
have been paying a third or hg^f more
for their implements and household
purchases. We wonder that the agri-
cultural press of the United States does
not take up the matter. It is not of a
political character, and therefore is not
tabooed on that ground. There is no
question which so vitally concerns the
class they represent, ana, therefore, it
is a proper subject for them to agitate,

• Baue of the Democracy.
Philadelphia Bulletin.
The Hon. Samuel Townsend, one of
Deleware7s most prominent citizens and
a fervent Democrat, writes to a Wil-
mington paper to protest against a
grant t>y tne Legislature of $2,000 aye&r
to Newark College upon two grounds:
One is, that college some day or other,
may admit "nigger" students, and the
other is that "forgeries, burglaries, high-
way robberies and other desperate
crimes are perpetrated by edncated
men." It is, perhaps, not necessary to
-discuss such a question upon such a
basis; but we may say that Mr. Towns-
end is not only a living argument in
favor of the necessity for a liberal edu-
cation as a means of1 enabling men to
use their mental faculties aright, but he
is a very fair representative of a party
which has persistently refused to give
to Delaware a free-school system.
Townsend probably has a dim con-
sciousness that when Delaware begins
to educate her people^ the Democratic
party will lose its hold upon them. • - ■-J {
